yho19 - Scream of my Heartbeat

Brian Griffin - Copyright 1978

The
nineteenth edition was a collection of posts first published on the YHO
site. The theme of the series was The
Pop Group and the impact they had on me as a teenager. An announcement about
The Pop Group playing live for the first time in 30-odd years had been indirectly
the catalyst for these reflections.

Each
post in the series was accompanied by a picture specially designed by
Per-Christian Hille and a song from a ‘rediscovered’ live recording of The Pop
Group playing in Newcastle in August 1978.
The pictures and songs fitted together at the end of the series to form
one glorious whole ‘giveaway’.

The
cover of this edition of YHO featured a 1978 photo by Brian Griffin of The Pop
Group on Chesil Beach, which I was graciously given permission to use. The set of photos taken in this session
played a hugely important part in making The Pop Group seem impossibly
glamorous.

The
coverage of The Pop Group in the music press was also an integral part of
making The Pop Group seem incredibly romantic.
